The Wings Girl

I don't know about all of you, but I get tired of the same old same old when it comes to who gets picked to go up on stage to meet Paul. I am tried of seeing the same people up there. I am tried of seeing pretty girls that want tattoos. I am tried of engagements. And I am tried of young girls who "picked between a new car and Paul". (Really? Paul concert and a new car should never cost the same amount).

What I love to see is new and fresh ideas make it onto the stage. The guys a few years ago that had the Abbey Road and asked Paul to join them---that was awesome. But this lady's costume is the best yet! In Paris during the One on One Tour, a beautiful fan created the costume of the "Wings Girl." She is seen predominately on the "Wings Greatest Hits" LP, but you also see her in the background of "Back to the Egg." Cosplay isn't usually a "thing" in Beatle fandom, but maybe it needs to be, because this is just amazing! I am so glad that she got her chance to show off her costume to everyone and to meet Paul in the process.

The cost of the cocerts are outrageous. I spent 250.00 and Paul was about 1 inch tall, when he was in view. I felt I gad to see a Beatle during my lifetime, but I would never do it again. Front row tickets were 6000.00 I was told.

Welcome Beatle fans!

This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.

The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.

If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.

I love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 20 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright on most of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.
